We performed a comparison between ManageEngine OpManager and PRTG Network Monitor based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out in this report how the two Network Monitoring Software solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."We can manage the entire system across the network and troubleshoot the pain points."
"Flexibility in the two view dashboard helps viewers and admins get the information they need about the fetwork in a flash."
"It helps us a lot for monitoring our servers in one console, instead of going to individual servers."
"I liked Network Configuration Manager. They had some pretty decent features there, and they also had pretty good monitoring and alerts."
"The most valuable feature of ManageEngine OpManager makes it easy to monitor all the network alerts on the application."
"The alerting feature has improved our organization. We can create multiple alerts and refine them to how we need to use them."
"The most valuable feature is the network-related reporting."
"The solution offers very good integration capabilities."
"We use the solution to monitor links. It also helps us to track servers and monitor logs."
"PRTG Network Monitor's best features are its flexibility, ease of implementation, user-friendliness, and intuitive interfaces."
"The solution is easy to manage and the reports are very accurate."
"We can see which fiber links have been used heavily and, if they are used heavily, we can introduce more links to particular buildings or particular areas."
"Its proactiveness is its most valuable feature. We already know when we come in, in the morning, if a server or site is down, as opposed to someone telling us."
"The fact that I can use custom MIB files to customize my sensors for the things that are not there as a default is a good feature."
"The solution provides us with needed feedback on our IT infrastructure. It gives us really good quality of service when it comes to monitoring of available space and available resources. It allows us to preempt issues before they become a problem for the business."
"It is a very stable solution. There are no bugs, glitches and we have not experienced any crashing."
"The real-time monitoring feature in PRTG is invaluable to me"
"The Wi-Fi side needs improvement."
"They should add more features to URL monitoring."
"The licensing for this solution is not straightforward and should be improved."
"The solution is a bit difficult to configure. There are quite a number of configurations and plugins that you must handle early in the process."
"The pricing of the solution is high. They should work to adjust the pricing model to see if they can help reduce costs."
"We encounter challenges in monitoring cloud services. I would also appreciate it if there was someone available to walk you through the documentation."
"The integration with various OEM products could be simplified."
"Needs an OVA, or more support for virtual deployments. Building a virtual instance of OpManager and OpManager Probe was a bit difficult because there was no OVA available."
"The two views into the system are very good but could be extended to further customization to fit the need of end users in a variety of roles."
"We would like more cloud native sensors for AWS, Azure, Google Cloud, etc. A lot of businesses are moving in that direction, so having something where we can pull performance stats out of these cloud services would be great for us."
"The operations dashboard is only available in PRTG's enterprise version, but I wish it could be accessed in the standard licensing. It would also be nice if PRTG had templates for dashboard monitoring, software monitoring, etc. It can help me set up a dashboard because now we don't have a template from PRTG, so we need to create one from scratch."
"PRTG Network Monitor can improve by adding prevention and detection features."
"It would be nice if it gave us alerts via Gmail or SMS message."
"Can be slow in the way it polls the different engines."
"Sometimes, it is difficult to drill down further to get information, e.g., if we saw spike in traffic, then we would want to drill down and find out what is causing that spike in traffic."
"It would be good if there were better graphical interfaces when you have it on multiple monitors... Because we have so many servers, things can get lost in the fog a little bit. Maybe having a better way of showing different geographies, Flash, etc., would help."
"PRTG Network Monitor can improve Layer 2 and Layer 3 network maps and the GUI more user-friendly. Additionally, they should bundle the features so I can monitor everything on one particular device."
